Water hose taste
How do you get rid of the plastic water hose taste in the water? I am using the white hoses made for potable water. I thought they weren't supposed to affect the water taste??

You posted 01/13/2017 12:42PM . 30 minutes after that at 1:18 I asked "Did you taste the water directly from the hose, or after the water has passed through your rig?".
It would have been nice if you had replied. You would have known to get a new hose 5 days ago.
HTH;
John- I'm done with this post so you can stop with the "holier than thou" comments. This forum has really deteriorated. I'm glad some of you have never tasted anything with your hoses.
- Hoses are fairly cheap unless you buy some super duper RV water hose. Many people replace them every year, at the beginning of the season. The hoses are thin and get permanent kinks and folds in them, and after a while, you just want to chuck the hose and start over. I keep a new one in the RV in case the one in use becomes trash.
Oddly I generally only fill at my house. Only once did I hook up to the park system in the past two years.

I've never detected any taste from the white fresh water hoses I have used over the years.loneryder wrote:
Well I replaced the hose and problem solved. I guess these hoses need replacing every few yrs. due to sun and age.
NO they don't if you just spend the money from the beginning and buy a QUALITY hose like I mentioned earlier.- Well I replaced the hose and problem solved. I guess these hoses need replacing every few yrs. due to sun and age.
- Water tastes like swimming pool water. South Fl. water full of minerals. Going to get a new hose...taste free. Thanks all.
- Dumb question here. Does the water from the hydrant taste ok?
- Plastic tasting algae, that's a new concept. ;)
I think your hose has deteriorated over the past couple years sitting in the sun, needs replacing.
